The Proposal

It started as a typical Saturday on vacation in Naples. Brittany and Derek were in Naples for Labor Day Weekend 2007.That special Saturday morning, they headed out on a beach walk from the Port Royal Club to the Naples Pier and back. It was a great walk, getting away from the activity and busy lifestyle they had left behind in Philadelphia.While driving home, Derek turned to do a quick visit by Trinity by the Cove... another pretty typical activity.They walked around the church for a little while admiring the beautiful weather and church grounds. They stopped on a bench outside the western doors. The bench was in a very pretty space where they got to sit together.It was when Derek started mentioning what a special place they were in that Brittany's wheels started turning. "Wouldn't it be special to get engaged and married in the same place?" With that, he got down on one knee next to her, presented the ring and proposed. Through tears and only saying "oh my gosh" and "it's perfect" (referring to the ring), she said "yes!"
